Announcing Potus At SpeakEasy Stage - September 15 - October 15, 2023

Arts and Entertainment

August 10, 2023

From: SpeakEasy Stage Company

Nominated for three 2022 Tony Awards, this hit Broadway farce will run for five weeks, September 15 - October 15, 2023, at the Calderwood Pavilion at the Boston Center for the Arts, 527 Tremont Street, in Boston's South End.

The press performance is Sunday, September 17 at 3PM.  Other dates are available.  You can RSVP here.

POTUS is an outrageous comedy that centers on seven women in the President's inner circle who take increasingly desperate measures to save the country when his multiple scandals spark a global crisis.  From an exasperated Chief of Staff and a scheming Press Secretary to a "so-over-it" First Lady, the script features an array of comedic roles that range from poised to over-the-top.  Some of New England's top women actors combine broad physical comedy with up-to-the-minute issues of gender power dynamics, the state of American affairs, and knee-choices that change political gamesmanship in a split second. 

Veteran Boston actress Paula Plum  will direct this production for SpeakEasy. 

Marianna Bassham, Johanna Carlisle-Zepeda, Catia, Crystin Gilmore, Laura Latreille, Monique Ward Lonergan, and Lisa Yuen make-up the powerhouse  Boston cast. 

Run time is estimated to be 1:50 including one intermission. 

We hope that you will join us .
